AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The almando Multiplay Surround Switch was developed to integrate external devicesinto a surround setup with a television and speakers from B&O and/or Loewe. Various devices with volume-controlled output can be connected:- TVs from B&O and Loewe-

All other audio signals - whether digital or analog - are converted to a 100% standard B&O Powerlink signal including the trigger voltage required for the B&O loudspeakers (as well as the B&O data signal for BeoLab 5, BeoLab 4500 and BeoLab Penta if required)

The almando Multiplay Surround Switch is a surround Powerlink switch with an automatic source management. To operate one of the connected devices, all you needis the respective remote control and you can also adjust the volume in this way.

The connected sources have different priorities - i.e. even if several sources are activeat the same time, you will only hear the one with the highest priority. For example, youcan present photos on the TV with music from your audio system, or listen tosuggestions from your music service during the halftime of a football match.

The almando Multiplay Surround Switch can be configured individually with a freesmartphone app. This allows you to set all parameters such as initial volumes,operating mode (signal detection on/off), automatic generation of the data signal forBeoLab 5 and sound settings such as treble, bass and loudness, etc. - and in somecases even individually for each input.

This is how you can adjust your audio setup per effect to your needs.You will no longer need the almando Control App in your daily use of your equipment -just the remote control of the device you want to listen to is sufficient. And this is the great strength of the almando device - it does everything for you fully automatically -from recognising active devices to switching the speakers on and off to smart switching between equally active sources according to predefined priorities

Esttablishing a Bluetooth connection to the smartphone / tablet Press the Bluetooth button on the almando device to the left of the power connection and open the settings in your smartphone, enable Bluetooth, and search for newBluetooth devices in the area. As soon as a device named "Almando..." is found, clickon it and it is paired with the device. You have two minutes to do this after pressing the Bluetooth button on the – during this time, the device is in discovery mode and is visible on your smartphone when scanning for new devices. This pairing only needs to be done once. If you want to connect another smartphone later, simply press the Bluetooth button on the almando device to the left of the powerconnection and do the same as when pairing with the first smartphon
